The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 71 - The Imperfect Devil

'BABAAAAAARR!!!'

With such a powerful punch, the Zephyrith's body that had turned into half a demon blasted Lucius' body through several walls at once.

Get Lucius thrown out of this research place completely.

'Swuuuussshh!!!'

Lucius' body floated in the air after being thrown out of what looked like a small castle on this steep cliff.

While glancing down, Lucius saw the crater of this mountain. It was filled with lava so hot.

'It's bad!' lucius thought in his heart.

He intends to shut down his Arcana. Give him a chance to create a portal and escape from here.

But when he almost turned it off....

'SWUUUOOOOOOS!!!'

The extremely dense and powerful reddish flame burst struck right at Lucius' body.

If not for his Arcana which is still active, it is not wrong that the fire will burn it to nothing.

Before him, the sight of the burst of flames being deflected by his Arcana was truly terrifying.

Within a radius of about 10 meters with the Arcana as its center, the burst of flames seemed to simply disappear. Which in fact, was deflected by his Arcana.

'Kretha!!!'

Shortly after, Lucius' Arcana suffered a rift. I was unable to resist the attack any longer.

'Damn it! If only my understanding of magic was better. He was upset at himself who was unable to make Arcana stronger.

But with this is enough. Thanks to the burst of fire, Lucius' body was pushed far enough to hit the other side of the cliff.

'Braa!!!'

While spewing blood, Lucius tried to get up. Only to realize that the demonic figure had been standing right before him.

Arcana who was supposed to be a protector for him, now turned around against him.

'Swuuusshh! Alaaarrrr!!!'

With physical strength surpassing that of a human, that demon who was once a Zephyrith kicked Lucius' body upwards. Throw it tens of meters into the air.

Just to hit him back to the ground.

'BABAAAARR!!!'

Such a powerful blow caused the ground around where Lucius had fallen to shatter forming a basin 3 meters deep. Fortunately, Lucius was carried further and further away from the crater of this volcano.

If Lucius had not trained his physique while inside that magic Relic, it might have been destroyed to the ground by the time it was.

'Damn, what should I do? His strength is truly beyond anything I have ever seen in all this time, Lucius thought with a body covered in wounds.

In a way, Lucius could have risked everything and deactivated his Arcana. Give him a chance to create a portal and escape from this demon.

But if he did, Lucius would need at least one to three seconds to create the magic formation that formed that portal.

Moreover, it meant that Lucius also gave the demon access to magic once again.

Extremely incredible physical strength, coupled with such a huge Mana. There's no way Lucius could survive for a second without Arcana's protection.

But on the other hand, keeping Arcana active also prevents itself from using magic. Although it could still use Mana to increase physical abilities through Overflow, it was simply not enough to match the physical strength of these demons.

"Fuck Carmilla, I told you I could run away a few weeks ago. Why are you asking now?" lucius was upset.

'Pardon me for that....'

Carmilla said she was curious about what the mysterious man was doing.

If only Carmilla's guess was correct, that was that the man could create a demon as he pleased with something, it would be best to leave it for a while.

And Carmilla intends to seize whatever made that demon, and learn it further. Because based on the words Carmilla....

'i.... Feeling some of my power from Hobgoblins back then. Although only a little. And now....'

"You feel it too?" lucius asked briefly.

His gaze was fixated on this dark sky, without the slightest hint of moonlight shining down on the night today. Just the light from the crater of this volcano.

In Lucius's view, the figure of the Zephyrith continues to evolve as a demon. Little by little, his imperfect Demon body was constantly changing.

Right now, the Zephyrith had grown a pair of wings. While the size of his own body is seen starting to shrink with horns on his head that are increasingly elongated.

Still without any sense, the demon shot back fire magic from the air.

A very simple fire magic, namely fireball. But thanks to his enormous amount of Mana, it made it seem as if it was the highest level of magic.

'Swuuuoooossshhh!!! Alaaaaaaarrrrr!!!'

A fireball of such gigantic size shot towards Lucius quickly. Its diameter alone reaches almost 50 meters more.

Light up the dark sky at night with a bright red light.

"I'm counting on you, Arcana" Lucius said to himself as he continued to stream Mana through his fingertips to the cracked Arcana.

He picked it up and pointed it at the giant fireball.

'TWOAAAAAAARR!!!'

As the fireball approached, within a radius of 10 meters all magic seemed to be erased just like that thanks to his Arcana.

'Kreettaakk!! Ttra!'kk!!'

But when it received such a big attack, even the Arcana began to be unable to withstand it. The crack on the metal card began to get bigger every second.

Meanwhile, outside of Lucius' anti-magic radius, the fireball destroyed the surroundings so easily.

The ground touched by the fire immediately melted and became hot lava, flowing in a lower direction. Precisely, stay away from Lucius because on the ground where he was standing there was no damage at all.

"Carmilla, if I die for your stupid idea, I'm going to kill you." Lucius lamented after realizing the terrible power of the devil.

The liquid with the black powder that Zephyrith injected into his own body, was unmistakable. It is an imperfect product.

Even so, the power given?

'Aarrggh! I gotcha! Leave this to me and...."

Before Carmilla took over Lucius' body, the boy raised his right hand which held the sword. As if to ask Carmilla to stop.

"Oi, did the demons of your era have such a form?" lucius asked curiously after the fireball that covered his gaze disappeared.

Now in his view, the figure of the Zephyrith who had finished evolved into a demon. Even so, for some reason....

Lucius felt something strange on his body.

The wings of the Zephyrith do not look so perfect, with a lot of rips in some parts. Meanwhile the tail that protrudes long looks not have full flesh.

Only show the bones with a little dressing of reddish meat without skin.

Meanwhile, part of his arm appears to turn into a deep black color, with large and sharp claws.

While the horn on his own head began to extend but curved backwards, with red eyes that glowed underneath.

'Obsolute once. In my day, demons have the most charming bodies on this continent. More beautiful than Elves, stronger than Dwarves, with a body that was proportionate to that of a Human. Unlike those loathsome monsters, Carmilla replied at length.

"Then his form was...."

'I don't know where he got that demonic power that resembles mine. But I can assure you, his body does not match that power at all. Maybe it was also because he was mixing something else?' Carmilla.

With Arcana almost completely destroyed, Lucius kept thinking how to survive the demon before him.
